Bouncy Castle Placement
You should put safety mats under a bouncy castle whether on grass or concrete. The mats prevent kids from getting hurt if they fall off.
Setup Considerations
Can bouncy castles go on uneven ground? You can put a bouncy castle on a small slope but not a steep one. Clear sharp objects before setting up.
Will a bouncy castle ruin grass? No, it temporarily flattens grass. Stakes secure it. Grass recovers.
Can you have indoor bouncy castles? Yes. Mind room dimensions, light fixtures and ceiling height when selecting.
Installation and Safety
How to set up a bouncy castle?
- Find the flattest spot removing stones and sticks.
- Install on bumpy areas if needed.
- Follow manual.
Is the rental company liable after setup? No. You’re responsible for safety after their setup.
Anchor and Materials
How do you anchor a bouncy castle? Bounce houses come with stakes to anchor them. Inflate first before anchoring so it doesn’t shift on inflation. Anchor before anyone jumps for safety, especially on slopes or in wind. Rental companies may provide sandbags.
Nylon and polyester oxford make good bounce house materials when reinforced with heavy nylon or PVC. Tarps under them prevent wear on concrete.
Maintenance and Care
Wet grass won’t damage it but tracked-in grass and sand make cleanup harder. Let fully dry before use if gets wet. Deflate, don’t use, in high winds per manufacturer guidelines.
Weight and Transport
A typical bounce house will have a max weight limit between 300 lbs to over 1000 lbs depending on the size of the unit. At 127 pounds, it won’t require more than 2 people to move it from your storage space to the ideal party place.
